Julia Placek, Marco Kada and Lenni Pfeiffer skate Cyprus

Welcome to the Blue Tomato team, Julia Placek! She didn't know when we invited her to join Marco Kada and Lenni Pfeiffer on a skateboard trip to Cyprus, but Julia has been on a literal roll over the last couple of years and it was about damn time to give her the upgrade she deserved. Together with Peter Mader and Hannes Mautner behind the lenses, they escaped the mediocre winter in Austria to (mostly) sunny Cyprus to film her welcome part - without her knowing.

Julia has been part of the Blue Tomato Shop Vienna team for several years already and achieved a lot already in her young age - she won the Best Foot Forward Finals 2022 and got 3rd in 2023, won the Landhausplatz Game of Skate in Innsbruck in 2022 and many more. But most importantly, she can bring her tricks to the streets! She already showed us last year in Berlin, but really stepped up on this trip to Cyprus. No wonder Marco Kada approves of her skating and her promotion to the main team.

Julia obviously (and rightfully) happy with the clip

Of course not only Julia was showing up in Cyprus, but Marco and Lenni not only followed suit but gave it their all to gather some great footage. A couple of clips have been reserved for their respective next parts though, so make sure to follow all three on their Social Media channels to not miss future drops!

Hannes Mautner took tons of amazing photos during that trip, so here's more of those:
